Weiner’s bike lane position shows he’s an ass as well as a dick

Like everyone else, we've entered Super Head-Shaking Mode over Rep. Anthony Weiner and his penis picture problem. We'd be sorry to lose him, from a policy perspective — he's had a pretty good voting record on environmental issues, although his colleages apparently cannot say with certitude that he isn't a dick. But on the subject of bike lanes, Weiner showed his ass long before he showed everything else.

Here's Weiner on his goals if elected mayor of New York City, an outcome that we're going to say is off the table for the foreseeable future (try D.C.!):

When I become mayor, you know what I'm going to spend my first year doing? … I'm going to have a bunch of ribbon-cuttings tearing out your [expletive] bike lanes.

Weiner said he was joking, and we don't want to kick a man too hard in the [exposed] balls, but COME ON.
